Flick a switch and get instant power—how our ancestors would have loved electric
motors! You can find them in everything from electric trains to remote-controlled carsThe link between electricity, magnetism, and movement was originally discovered in 1820 by French physicist André-Marie Ampère (1775–1867) and it's the basic science behind a
Ac motor. How an
asynchronous motor works—in practiceAn
electric motor for concrete mixers is all about magnets and magnetism: A motor uses magnets to create motion. If you have ever played with magnets you know about the fundamental law of all magnets: Opposites attract and likes repel.The motor being dissected here is a simple
10 Hp electric motor that you would typically find in a toy.
